    Sounds like a perfect role model for the young guys 🥴

    Forgetting the pre-incident fatigue, it seems that the blades could be deforming during autorotation. Van Horn's test machine crashed during max gross auto testing - then this one has an engine failure (presumably due to the incorrect fuel setup), and it's found the blades deformed at some time during the flight.

    Happens to our 407s occasionally, doesn't seem to matter which gauge it is, the backlight just seems to dim over time until it's barely readable.

    We use folding racks for parking them in the winter. Takes less than 5 minutes to unfold it.

    206 and 407 would definitely be used by me, and likely my coworkers!

    $12 inflatable camping pillow from crappy tire. 20+ hrs in B2 bucket seats this week and no complaints.

    Bif, why not use an excel form like the one provided and put it on Dropbox. My company does this for aircraft tracking and I find it works pretty well, as it can be accessed from anywhere with internet.

    Although this case is about logging "flight time", it is unfortunate there still was no input about how pilots are supposed to record in their personal logbooks. As I've always seen it since the first day I started flying, flight time is engine start to throttle off, and air time is skids up to skids down. Flight time is what you put in your personal log book (in flight school), because TC requires 100 hours of flight time to receive to complete your CPL. Yes, I am a "low-timer". I have spoken with lots of pilots I work with about logging air vs flight time and it seems everyone has a different opinion. Does anyone else care to give their input on which time they put into their PERSONAL logbooks?
